2. Nandaka (or Licchavi) Sutta.—Nandaka, minister of the Licchavis, visits the Buddha at the Kūṭāgārasālā in Vesāli. The Buddha tells him that the Ariyan disciple, possessed of unwavering loyalty to the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Saṅgha, and having Ariyan virtues, is assured of enlightenment and happiness. During the conversation, a man comes to tell Nandaka that his bath is ready. Nandaka sends him away, saying that the inner washing—loyalty to the Buddha—is far more important.¹
